Great When It's All Working

By Matt Hart Ranked #34 - Heart Rate Monitors November 3, 2008

i've used this watch the most. it's heart rate monitor works great. it's altimeter has been the closest to right on that i've ever used. paired with the foot pod it was astonishingly accurate at calculating the distance i've run. the problem with their first design is that you will lose the foot pod. no exceptions, at some point the foot pod which is attached via plastic tension will fly off your foot. the bike pod was equally as accurate. overall a great watch. the software kind of sucks and after a windows xp hotfix it stopped working altogether. the firmware was missing a few features like a delete all logs on the watch, etc... but just minor things. overall a great watch.

it gets more complicated when you try and use the footpod and bike pod. it seems as though if you have the whole set, something is always not working right.

also of concern i had to bring a couple of t6's back because of "foggy screen" as condensation would somehow get under the glass and either kill the display or just make it so you couldn't read it.. yeah not good.
